A British mechanical giraffe evaded American secret services, infiltrated the White House and got close enough to Barack Obama to bite his head off.

The robotic beast narrowly avoided sparking World War III after appearing at an event in the White House intended to show off the work of American "makers".

The President was shocked to hear the giraffe speak in a British accent - and so was the secret service agent assigned to protect him.

"He has kind of a British accent," the President said after petting the beast's nose. The video below shows one of Obama's bodyguards rushing to save him from the robot giraffe, before the video is quickly shut off.

"Russell is forever flying out to America to work on the giraffe, which he takes to the Burning Man festival. But we didn't expect to see it in the White House.

"If we start seeing drone giraffes in Afghanistan, we know who to blame." ®

Update

Pinnington has been in touch to tell El Reg that the giraffe was created by Lindsay Lawlor of San Diego, while he sorted out the electronic gubbins inside it.
